[Verse 1]
What's your name?
I can tell you our story before we get into the game
We fall head over heels overnight
See my face in your future
I'm in your future, in your nights, mmm
We're intense
In a lip-lock now 24/7, don't want it to end
But reality's waitin', they say better come up for air soon
Yeah, come up for air soon
Make a change, mmm

[Pre-Chorus]
Fallin' again, and don't understand
Never my plan, nah

[Chorus]
I'm in a cycle
Yeah, I admit it
How can I change it when I don't know when I'm in it?
I'm in a cycle
Swear this is different
Don't wanna end it, if you leave then I keep spinnin'
My life's a cycle
Don't mean we ain't true
Just 'cause I talk about the things I've done before you
I'm in a cycle
Swear this is different
Don't wanna end it, if you leave then I keep spinnin'

[Verse 2]
You're afraid (yeah)
The way I love you now and my love in the past are the same
And the things that I say are exactly what I used to tell them
And that really hurts me, but I know, mmm

[Pre-Chorus]
Fallin' again, and don't understand
Never my plan, no

[Chorus]
I'm in a cycle
Yeah, I admit it
How can I change it when I don't know when I'm in it?
I'm in a cycle
Swear this is different
Don't wanna end it, if you leave then I keep spinnin'
My life's a cycle
Don't mean we ain't true
Just 'cause I talk about the things I've done before you
I'm in a cycle
Swear this is different
Don't wanna end it, if you leave then I keep spinnin'

[Bridge]
Guess I'm romantic in a way
Why don't you catch me when I sway?
'Cause when my heart falls out of place
I know (oh, oh, oh)

[Chorus]
I'm in a cycle
Yeah, I admit it
How can I change it when I don't know when I'm in it?
I'm in a cycle
Swear this is different
Don't wanna end it, if you leave then I keep spinnin'
My life's a cycle
Don't mean we ain't true
Just 'cause I talk about the things I've done before you
I'm in a cycle
Swear this is different
Don't wanna end it, if you leave then I keep spinnin'

Tove Lo

Ebba Tove Elsa Nilsson, professionally known as Tove Lo (pronounced Too-veh-Lu), is a Swedish singer-songwriter born and raised in Djursholm, Sweden.

She first rose to prominence for her single, “Habits (Stay High)“, which became a top ten hit in the U.S. a year after its 2013 release, a dark breakup anthem that generated such Internet buzz that it led to a deal with Universal. “Habits“ and its follow-up, “Out of Mind“, appeared on her debut EP Truth Serum, in 2014.

Later that year, her debut album, Queen of the Clouds, arrived, featuring “Habits“. The album was a Top 10 hit in Sweden and a Top 20 hit in the U.S. and U.K., and the subsequent single “Talking Body“ was a similar success.
